Product Description

 
The Stylus 500 features a 2.5-inch 215,000 pixel LCD monitor. Because the liquid crystal molecules are laid out in a radial pattern, it allows viewing from angles as wide as 160 degrees under virtually any lighting condition. This technology also assures minimal color variation right across all its 215,000 pixels. It offers 23 shooting modes with automatic exposure adjustments for shooting Portraits, Landscapes, and Fireworks as well as two new underwater shooting modes and two Shoot & Select modes for shooting rapid sequences of frames. A USB 2.0 interface connects the camera to Macs or PCs and allows the images to be downloaded without using special software. It is also PictBridge-compatible, to connect directly to supported printers.

Review: I have owned four Olympus compact cameras: one film and this is my third digital. I have always been impressed by the photo quality produced, and this camera is no exception. Apparently, it has a revised lens design. It does not seem a great deal...

A Great Point-And-Shoot Buy
